The invention Acons-ists in the 4combina` tions and arrangements of ,parts hereinafter' described and claimed'. f

heinvention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which, l

Fig. 1. is a side View, shown partially in section, of a hair clipper embodying the invention; l

The preferred form of construction as illustrated inthe drawings comprises a hollow metallic handle 6 provided with a forwardly extending cutter-head 7 arranged at an angle thereto as shown. The cutter-head 7 is provided with two upstanding posts 8 and a reciprocatory cutter-blade 9 is slotted to fit over said posts and reciprocate in cooperating relationship with said cutterhead, suitable `means being provided for effecting such .reciprocation `So much of of the same; substantially on substantially on the construction constitutes no part of my j present invention excepting so far as same cooperates with the construction to be pres 4 ently described.

A housing 10 is `arranged over the .blade 9 being provided at its forward edge withl contacting with the topv depending lugs 11v of the blade to hold the same in proper cof operative relationship with the cutter-head. v The lower end of handle is formed vinto a fiat guide surface'substantially perpendicw lar to the longitudinal length of said handle. A supporting ledge or flange 4112'is arranged have invented certain new` and useful Improvements inHair @11phousing..

. the working parts from the entry of substantially .on

variations on thevlower endoff handle '6 to `the :rearfof the blade 9 and in position to support the rear edge of the housing 10 whi'c'lralso rests v against the lower endof said handle. The 69y 'v housing 10 is provided .with depending' sides 13 and' guide lugs 14 .are arranged `on 'the' handle 6 to project therefrom adjacent. `the sides ofv ledge '12 to engage' within andposi-` tion the s-ides 13 which `also rest against the 65 lower end of saidv` handle. A positioniing` block 15 is Vsecured centrally to the urn-:lere side' of lthe housing 10 to .fit .between the posts 8 to position' the forward end of? the The; housing 10 fits loosely .overf70 an upstanding threaded stud 16 `:lirovided l on .thehand'le and is heldin place by means of a nut 17, a spring plate or washer 18 being interposed under said nutand pro,- vided with a squared rear yedge 19 resting `75 against` the forward edge of the handle (5y to prevent turn-ing. l i

By this arrangement asimple and eifective housing is pro-vided for holding" the blade 9 in proper cooperative relationship with the cutter-head and also protecting foreign matter. By means of thek arrangement disclosed a strong and durable constructionis provided by means of which they-housing will be firmly and accurately held in place.

hile I have illustrated and described the preferred formof construction for carrying my invention" into effect, .this is capable of variation and modification withi out departing from the spirit of the `invention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail myselfvofsuch and modifications as .come within the scope of the appended claims.
